In his remarks he acknowledged the fierce debate that had ensued during the congressional August recess (which he termed a "partisan spectacle"), recognized that health care reform solutions need significant compromise and devotion of resources, and called for legislators to bring their serious ideas to the table and dispense with oppositional nay-saying. He outlined a health care reform solution that included transportable individual health insurance, did not deny coverage to anyone, created affordable options within the marketplace, and he admonished irresponsible businesses and individuals for poor decisions in the provision of health care. He also strongly criticized those who had been irresponsible in talking about health care reform, saying that "demagoguery and distortion" had no place in debate on improvement of heath care, and implored Congress to take up the challenge that President Theodore Roosevelt and subsequent presidents had made to the nation in decades past. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/288799-1

In his remarks he said, "We can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world - and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed."
Prior to the speech, a debate ensued from some who believed the president should not speak to elementary, middle, and high school students in a national address. In previous years, Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush also spoke to students in addresses that were shown to students around the country.
